The process was so slow that one could misunderstand the speed of the thing for a split second, but in fact, the rolling transparent object was almost swift, and if Elena had just moved a little later, she would have been bumped!

It's a millimeter difference, but at this moment, it is already greeted by a long sword with a flame of light.

Elena's pupils tightened!

The feeling of the long sword was very strange, as if it had hit a soft mass, but just as it felt it, the translucent thing let out a high-frequency scream!

The scream spread outward from where the blade slashed like a clear curved knife, and the terrible vibration pierced through Elena's chest for a moment, suffocating the burning pain before she heard the hum of her ear drums.

"What is this?"

The paladin bent down, only to feel as if a ball of ignited coals had been stuffed into her abdomen, and her throat was dry and bitter, and it was almost half an hourglass scale before she could barely let the buzzing in her ears dissipate. Slowly raised his head and looked at the empty space in front of him.

"It's an activated sonic boom, and only a dumb guy like you would cut it with a sword!"

Glesia laughed loudly with the psychic teleportation that the demons excel at, and reached out to point a dull glow, "It's the first time I've seen a fool use a weapon against a revitalizing spell!"

The spell the Devil Princess had used was a simple distraction, but there was no doubt that it was the most correct way to fight the magic - a translucent monster that had just rushed in front of her was disturbed by the luster of the same thing Elena had just dealt with. It bursts and disappears like a blister in the sun, leaving no trace.

"Activating sound boom...... Is it an activation spell?"

Elena's brow furrowed. It took her a moment to recall the name—something written in the temple's more off-the-beaten-path travel notes of a Paladin senior, a man-made monster.

Or rather, a disaster.

Legend has it that in the battlefields where the mages were hostile to each other, or in their chambers, or in some other magical place. Occasionally, spells with powerful magical powers will gain consciousness and refuse to disappear from the world—a rare occurrence in the main physical plane of such strange creatures. They may have spawned in a violent explosion of energy, or in an ancient war that ramped with the use of magic, or deep underground, in areas where a large amount of energy was unstable...... Because the premise is that there are mages who exert their powers, this precious energy life is a miracle.

Extremely rare. and unknown - these pure energy bodies are bound to those magically cursed lands. Grab the remnants of the magical energy of the land for a living. And the greatest tragedy is that these spells, destined to appear for the sake of killing, inherit the caster's will to attack...... Fierce, perceptive, dangerous, and unusually aggressive towards any life form that is different from them.

Generally speaking, this kind of violence makes them extremely unstable. Often after a few hourglasses the opportunity disappears with the fight between each other, and. They can't leave the energy-rich land, so people usually only think of it as a plague or something, and they can be safe, as long as they bypass the place where they live.

But now, the god of magic that needs to be found is in the middle of those activating spells.

Those......

Edward's gaze turned slightly, sweeping the perimeter of the huge magic tower, which became clearer and more majestic as the distance approached...... Beyond the surrounding satellite tower, a subtle halo of light slowly spreads out......

Of course, if you look closely, you can see that it is not a halo at all, but a convergence of countless subtle rays of light...... The light and dark points of light fluctuated, like an ocean of ebb and flow.

If every point of light is the core energy of an activating spell...... So what is the number of activation spells gathered here?

This question arises in the mind of every observer, repeating itself over and over again, but it seems as if the correct answer will never be forthcoming.

"I didn't expect Azus to do this, what does it want to do?"

Glesia's voice carried some dreamlike nothingness, and at this moment, the devil princess no longer had the slightest hint of playfulness, and her beautiful brows were tightly furrowed: "Glitter dust, fireball magic, sound explosion...... And it's not just magic, it's even magic! My God, even if this number is transferred to ten legions of demon refining, it will take at least a month to clean up!"

"What's there?" asked Edward.

"A lot, you see, the black garbage is the Activation Blasphemy, and the crystals are the Ice Breath, the clouds are the Heavy Mist, and the ...... The Nine Prisons are above, that's the Storm of Vengeance, how did this ninth-order magic Azus come up with? And it's not all, further down, there's more...... It's a synthesis of two spells, what is it? I can tell if one is an implosion spell, and the other could be a meteor burst, but it could also be a polarized fire spell."

The Psychic Warlock's gaze moved to her words—in fact, his eyesight was far better than that of the Devil's Lord here. You can clearly see the innermost part of the halo ring, the wriggling, like a small mountain. Each of them has a riot of colors and quirky shapes that fluctuate constantly. At the very least, it should be a nine-ring arcane or divine spell, but it could be a combination of two or three different spells.

It's a real headache.

"Is there any good way to expel them?" asked Elena.

"It's too hard to evict

Glesia said, glancing at the ring of tens of thousands of points of light: "This amount, even if you have a large spell nullification enchantment, or an anti-magic force field circle, and then a few hundred spellcasters keep charging him...... Although these things don't have a range like ordinary spells, they are very sensitive to a qiē energy. Even now I can easily spot them, and as soon as they do. I guess Azus found out, right? He doesn't have to do anything else but order these people to come together, and you're dead. No magic circle surrounded by them can withstand the consumption, unless ......"

Her brows furrowed, and her red eyes looked Edward up and down, "If you have a way to absorb the power of magic, then I will give you a big meal right away." ”

Edward didn't answer her.

Of course, he couldn't have eaten the spells.

In fact, if he wanted to. It's not impossible to restore the energy of magic to pure, absorbable energy - but it will take some time to adjust and assimilate one's own energy frequency. However, the number of activating spells here is not just huge. The variety is also extremely complex. This amount, only the ontology of Pandorian Ryan, who has devoured a universe, is it possible to lightly accept it, right? No, or ...... The spiritual body of several scumbags added up. It's barely enough. After all, the total number of magic spells is only more than a thousand, and as an offensive spell, a few hundred is already the limit.

But this assumption makes no sense.

"Hell, where did he get all this energy? Even if it's a mage god, it's not easy to create such a number of activation spells......"

"Because of the time. ”

Yuga Hitra's bell-like voice suddenly sounded again, only this time, it was a little faint and echoed. It's like a long pipe to talk to people: "The space here has been controlled, and the time in between. It has also stopped passing in a normal way. Instead, it was sped up to the same level as the lowest plane law. ”

Edward was stunned.

"In other words, judging by the time of the main material plane, a day there is equivalent to a year here?" After searching in his memory, he finally understood the meaning of the incarnation of the World Tree - as a person who had mastered the Spatial Divine Rules and established multiple half-planes, this knowledge was not so secret.

"Your Majesty Yugathira, even if you can't expel this god who has invaded your realm...... But don't you have anything to do with these 'little troubles'?"

Pulling his gaze away from those 'points of light,' the Psychic asked.

The Mage God chose these activation spells as his outermost defense, naturally having full confidence in their abilities. But how much can this 'little thing' do to defend against those 'bugs' or yes, to the World Tree itself? At least Edward believed that just opening a portal to the outside world here would kill them all - if those things were extraordinarily energy-sensitive, then just that portal to the sun would be enough to put these intellectless moths on fire, wouldn't it?

"Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do. ”

The World Tree's voice was still calm: "His movements are swift and stealthy, and by the time I found out, it was too late...... As he gradually moved forward, I had lost control of this place, and leading you here was already a limit for me. ”

Magpie nest dove?

From beginning to end, Azus's actions were not to wander the World Tree, but to ...... Trying to snatch a part of this tree?

Of course, this giant tree that runs through many levels of the Upper Realm is considered a passageway, but from another point of view, how can the passage itself not be seen as a separate plane, and what could be more suitable for a transcendent being to inhabit than such a 'tree hole'.

But what about the pathfinders? If Azus never intended to leave, then what's the point of him throwing out those pieces or something?

"Asmodeirs has failed...... Did he lose his entire doppelganger?"

After a few more moments of silence, the Psychic Warlock spoke.

The slight sound was like a sigh, but it shook the spirits of the other three.

"You mean...... Wouldn't it......?

"Father, he can't ......"

The two devils almost subconsciously retorted, but in the end they were both stuck in halfway.

For the calculating devil, the human's train of thought was not very difficult to understand—since Azus had found the space where he belonged, the arrangements made by the Lord of the Nine Hells for the way he moved naturally became meaningless...... No, it should be said. Not only that, but he was used! He caught those who were not pathfinders at all, but bait!

And the fish that were caught. Naturally, it was the Lord of the Nine Hells.

Inferred from this, the great rebellion of the tentacles of the World Tree in that elven town just now was obviously not an accident but an attack! Led Edward and the others to this place.

"Or, the Lord of the Nine Prisons, His Majesty hasn't been discovered yet?" said Ma Man after a pause.

In fact, the Third Helllord also knows. This reason is not very reasonable, although it is not certain whether Asmodeirs has failed or not based on the information available, but since their group has been discovered by Yugahitra. Then the more powerful Asmodeus could not have been ignored......

But he's not here now......

"Look at the number of these. Edward sneered. Piercing his hopes directly: "Remember the generation characteristics of the activation spell?"

"As long as there is enough energy, the spell can materialize the desire it carries to attack, and then become an energy monster that acts purely for the sake of that desire. Elena said, reciting fragments from her memory, "The most likely place for them to appear is in the ancient battlefields, where the hatred of magic users is so strong......"

There was a moment of silence around them, and the two devils listened dumbfounded—and more importantly, to the interpretation. They couldn't find any reason to refute the human's words - only a strong sense of aggression would create the core of the activation spell. And Azus himself is probably not interested in expending so much energy, so these things are naturally not what he wants to make, but the 'result' of a great war.

This piece of activating spell is ...... Asmodeirs, wreckage.

"So what to do? Let's withdraw first? and then mobilize a few legions...... Hell, we're afraid we won't be able to get in......"

After looking at each other, Glesia asked.

Even Asmodeus failed, and this time the purpose seemed impossible to accomplish with these four men alone - even if he could barely break through the outer defense, there was still a god of magic waiting in that tower, and if he followed him in the process of breaking through, it would be even more dangerous.

But the Devil Princess's voice was halfway in pause again, because he found that the space around him and a few others had been pushed forward like flowing water! Those originally small points of light had become various clumps of different sizes in front of him in an instant!

This madman!

For a moment, this thought was left in Glesia's mind, and her vision was already filled with the light—the surrounding Qiē seemed to suddenly darken, but in fact it was just an illusion created by the burst of bright light...... Dozens of activating spells that seemed to be clusters of light opened up like ooze monsters, and the light suddenly became several times brighter, and a ring of runes inside them burst into flames, spraying the light that was as strong as a few suns piling up Lei City towards a few people!

The Devil Princess's curses screeched in his ears, but the Psychic Warlock didn't hear it, just lowered his head, letting the blinding beam of light cast a thick black shadow under his hood.

He knew what these spells were—flashes, which posed no threat to humanity other than dazzling eyes, and that was why he was here. It is because of this brightness that excites them.

This light was like a lighthouse in a dark starspace, a stone thrown into the pond - within a radius of a thousand feet, almost all the activation spells were triggered in this instant, they rolled, writhing, and their bodies were connected like soft mud, like a huge wave, rushing towards the center of the energy explosion!

Edward, on the other hand, unhurriedly raised one hand and held it with five fingers...... Pinch hard!

The surrounding sounds seemed to be deprived at this moment, and a body like an activated sound explosion ball was suddenly squeezed into pieces by an invisible force! Violent magical energy erupted in a daze! A translucent ripple rippled and burst out where he had been standing, turning into a huge wave comparable to thunder.

Then the second, the third......

The air gushing out of the dark depths turned into an unnatural cold wind, and the frost quickly spread along the masonry, peeling off a series of terrible freeze cracking sounds that could not be concealed by a loud burst of cracks.

Then there was an incandescent flash of light that poked its head out of the vortex that erupted from the crack, and it immediately began to curl. Then split into strips of lightning and drilled into the vortex. In an instant, the entire storm air mass was spread. In the blink of an eye, the thick gray clouds were filled with turbulent and rushing flashes of energy, and a huge deep vortex appeared where the energy beam pierced the ground.

The light continued to expand, transforming from a jumping and flickering blue-white electrical energy to an orange-red fire that burned continuously...... The whole abyss was finally lit up again—more than half of it, like thousands of years, and the twisted structure of the roots of the legendary World Tree stretched into darkness beneath it, though a closer look reveals that it should have been some illusion of a rock in the light of fire.

Activating spells are pure energy bodies that lack intelligence, but they don't have any general weaknesses...... The only thing they can call weak, or their bodies made of energy—the desire to attack pulls at those energies, creating a fragile balance that will explode if they are hit enough. (To be continued......)
